Egyptian Bread with100% Ancient Wheat

Egyptian bread is a flatbread called Aish Baladi which is similar to pita bread, but made with 100% whole wheat flour. Originally, this Egyptian flatbread was made from emmer wheat.

Emmer wheat is an ancient grain that has extraordinary character and a very good taste. Emmer wheat is also known as Farro wheat. It is lower in gluten and is the parent of the more modern day wheat varieties.

Making your Egyptian bread recipes with an ancient grain like emmer will give you a lot more nutrition and maybe less problems. As modern day wheat cannot compete with the ancient grains that are naturally higher in protein and other nutrients.
